Description To Books Tricks (Tricks #1)

Five teenagers from different parts of the country. Three girls. Two guys. Four straight. One gay. Some rich. Some poor. Some from great families. Some with no one at all. All living their lives as best they can, but all searching ... for freedom, safety, community, family, love. What they don't expect, though, is all that can happen when those powerful little words "I love you" are said for all the wrong reasons. Five moving stories remain separate at first, then interweave to tell a larger, powerful story—a story about making choices, taking leaps of faith, falling down, and growing up. A story about kids figuring out what sex and love are all about, at all costs, while asking themselves, "Can I ever feel okay about myself?"

Tricks, a novel by Ellen Hopkins, introduces five teenagers and their initial struggles with love. Eden, the daughter of religious zealots, is torn between their strict teachings and her desire for Andrew, her caring boyfriend. Seth is a farm boy who wants (but cant have) both his fathers approval and the warm embrace Loren, the boyfriend he met through a personal ad on the Internet. Whitney tries to find the love her mother has always denied her by turning to a boy named Lucas. Ginger tries to

Wow, I honestly just noticed the amount of pages this book has. I read it in 3 days! I flew through it, because the chapters were so short. Also, I fell in love with Ellen Hopkins' writing style. It was once again confirmed I love these kind of poetic writings. I have to be honest here: I did like this book, but I forgot what was going on with each of the characters every single time. When I saw their name pop up again, I was like: 'Wait, who was this again?' The characters don't cross paths

Similar to Ellen Hopkinss other books, this book is written in prose. It is written from the perspectives of five teenagers across the US, who, for various reasons, find themselves entering the world of prostitution and the downward spiral that brought them there.

Did a reread of this book this year, and my thoughts are pretty much the same from the first time that I read this back in 2014.Another profound read from Ellen Hopkins. Whether she is telling a true to life story or a fiction each of them always touch me in a very emotional way.

When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival.Tricks is the second book that I have read by Ellen Hopkins and once again, she left me feeling so many different emotions. Something that I have learned to appreciate in her books is her poetry. Ellen Hopkins really speaks through her poetry. The book itself isnt exactly poetry but has parts in it that are novels, written through poetry. Ellen Hopkins doesn't sugar-coat in this book at all. She hits prostitution head-on. There

Oh my god. So I got this book the first day it became available at the book store (yesterday), and I couldn't wait to read it. So I did. And it was AMAZING. Ellen Hopkins does it again in this beautifully written novel told in verse titled "Tricks". It is about five teenagers who each come from different backgrounds, some in the upper class, some in the lower class. Three girls, two boys. Four are straight, one is gay. But they all have one thing in common: they are all searching for acceptance,
